MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS

●A theory in psychologyA theory in psychology, proposed by Abraham MaslowA theory in psychology, proposed by Abraham Maslow, is an understanding of his observations of humans' innate curiosity. His theories parallel many other theories of human developmental psychology, all of which focus on the stages of growth in humans

Scientific Research and findings ●Emotional learning and chemical synapses ●We all have junctions through which neuronsWe all have junctions through which neurons signal to form circuits within our central nervous system. These are crucial to our biological computer to understand perception and thought, to allow your nervous system to connect and control other systems of the body ●As a chemical reaction, one neuron releases neurotransmitter molecules into a small space (the synapse) that is adjacent to another neuron. These molecules can bind to create a routine or behaviour pattern ●Therefore it has been proven that neurons can respond to positive as well as negative stimuli and that if you change the way you think, then positive clustering of these distinct patterns can be adapted and achieved
